'; Or Trip. We hare just returned
from a risit to our old home, the "City
of the Falls," and if any. thing hat
gone wrong the past two weeks oar
readers know what to attribute it.
We had a very pleasant trip from this
to Cincinnati, on the steamer Virginia,
nothing having turned up to mar our
enjoyment. We reached the city : in
the morning and passed our time in
witnessing the "sights and shows"
Which are always to be seen there, until
. seven o'clock in the eTening, when we
embarked on. the Lighihgjine Packet
David White, for s" Itfuistille. The
- White was literally crowded with pas
sengers, principally business men, who
ar enabled to transact their business in
one city and by taking the Lightning
Line can reach the other before busi
ness hours commence the next day, thus
losing no time between the two cities,
as the distance is made with ease during
the night by these boats, the Darid
White and Alvin Adams.
'. We arrived in Louisville Sunday
morning, Vhere we remained several
days, during which time we had an op
portunity of ascertaining the sentiments
of the people in regard to the late dis
graceful proceedings in the Ward case
and we venture the assertion that there
is not a right-thinking, intelligent man
in that city bat deprecates the mob in
the strongest terms, and endorses the
course of Geo. D. Prentice and John J.
Crittenden. A reaction has taken
place in favor of these gentlemen, which,
in the end, will raise them far above the
eminence from which they were at
tempted to be thrown. Great injustice
has been done these honorable and high
minded citizens, -and the treatment is
unjust and unlike the true spirit and dis
position of true Kentttckians. TJie mo
tives of the gentlemen were-pUre one
for testifying to the former standing of
Ward, and the other for appearing as
his counsel, have been denounced in the
bitterest terms by men of little judg
ment but the end is not yet, the tables
are being turned, and before many days
Geo. D. Prentice and John J. Critten
den will stand vindicated and justified
in the eyes of every right-thinking,
honorable man in the country. In Con
nection with this we take occasion to
copy a portion of an article from the
Louisville Journal, in which Mr. Pren
tice vindicates his own conduct.
Throughout this whole matter he has
been firm as the rock of Gibraltar, and
must be admired by every one for the
moral courage he has shown and the
"manly stand he has taken, in standing
bv bis friends in the hour of need. He
says:
Wbat vi wish ora rarxxns to bead. Inas
much bs our course in the Ward ease has ex
posed us to the most unparalleled and unre
mitting persecutions iiiai ever were vj&ueu
ii Don any editor in Kentxky, we have con
cluded to make one more statement as to what
that course has been, in the hope that men .
ves are not utterly blind and men's ears are
not utterly deaf to all the considerations of
truth, and justice, and right.
"If we allude to the relations that have long
existed between us and Mr. Robert J. Ward
and family, let the reader dUtiuctly under
stand that we are not doing this by way ol
.apologizing for the course we hare taken in
regard I
fully a
retard to the terrible attair that has so power
fully agitated the public mind. The course
we have taken has been strictly right, and
what is right needs no apology, and from us
shall have none. Any rumor that we are or
ever were under pecuniary obligations to Mr.
Robert J. Ward is false and we could wish,
or the honor of hnman nature, that all rumors
- of a similar character in relation to one of the
bitterest and most relen leas f the pursuers
of Mr. W. and his family ware equally false
We have lived for years in the interchange of
kindnesses wiih Mr. Ward and his wife and
children, and have uniformly regarded him as
the man who would be most likely to stand by
us in any or all the exigencies of fortune.
Five or six months ago our office was burned
down, and our loss was a heavy one for ns.
Wihin two hours after the disaster, we re
ceived a letter from Robert J. Ward, condoling
with ns most earnestly, and niacin? whatever
sum of money we might need at ur disposal,
assuring us that we rhould lay him under a
deep obligation by accepting it, and specify
ing as the only condition, that, if we did him
tthe favor to accept it the matter n ast forever
remain a secret between him and us. We
could not take the money, bat the whole tone
of JHr. w . 8 letter and the generosity of his of
ler attected us even to tears. Unly two or
three days afterwards, we called at his house
and found Aim in tears, utterly bowed and
crushed with grief on account of his son's
.having killed Mr. W. H. 6. Butler. There are
beings calling themselves men, -who can pre
. tend that it was our duty, under such circum
stances, to hasten back to our office and pro
claim through onr col am us that bis son wis
guilty of a horrible murder and invoke public
wrath and indignation upon the crime and its
perpetrator. If we had been capable of such
thing, we should have deserved to be driven
; forth from among our kind, a wanderer and an
exile in the desert or the wilderness. It could
so more-be ourduty, thus situated, to denounce
- Matt. F. Ward aa guilty of murder than it
would have been had we borne to him the rela
tion -of a father. There are other ties than
those of blood which all good men racogniae:
there are other relations than those of kindred
which are held sacred by every .heart that is
anything more than a mere muscle.
. Ii regard to Hon. Jomr J. Crittss
be, the Frankfort Commonwealth gives
the following-, which should silence for
ever his pursecutors:
"Mr. Ward wished to secure Mr. Oritten
aeirs. professional services far his eon. Mr.
wis bound to aplVtbTwTnd 1 so Sri
M appearing ia it waacneemed, b was oo!
volunteer.' One Question only remained:
Should he accept a fee; or should be reader
nia service) gratuitously, as an act of ineoa
ship towards the lather of the accused, who
had bees his intimate personal friend for many
years. Ha deckled on the latter; he would
take no fee. One of his friends understands
that a very liberal onFwa intimated or of
fered to him. If be haa accepted it, the ease
would have, been tha common one of profes
sional services rendered for reward; and no
body would have thought it wrong. But if it
would have been right to yield to Mr. Ward's
wishes and defend his son for money, could it
be wrong to defend him for friendship? We
thin not.
The people of Louisville, like ourself.
do not by any means justify Matt i
Ward in killing W. H. G. Bn tier? but as
he begs a suspension of opinion until
the evidence can be brought forth, we
are charitable enough to grant his re
quest -Our
old friend Jab. 8. Speed, Esq.,
we found still presiding over the desti
nies of the city in the position of If ay or,
having survived the blood-hound excite
ment, and a better man can no where be
found. " He is practical, thorough-going
and one of the most useful men in the
city. We had the pleasure once of con
tributing our aid to send him to the Leg
islature, where he acquitted himself
with honor and to the satisfaction of his
constituents.
In passing Walker's Exchange, on
Third street, our attention was attracted
by a huge monster of the deep, in the
shape of a "green 6ea turtle," the
weight of which was 300 pounds. This
rather excited our curiosity and we en
tered, determined to see the sights if
any were to be seen. We found ourself
in one of the handsomest and finest es
tablishments of the kind in the country.
Everything was neat, clean and elegant,
the room large, spacious and airy; the
walls are painted in panel-work, beauti
ful French engravings of dead game
decorating the centre of each panel.
The floor is of encaustic tile, a species
of J3rrman mosaic work, the first in
ter 'd. in Louisville, which very near-
lyjyte'mbles marble. In the rear, of
this is an eating-room, where can be had
everything you wish in the eating line.
It makes ns hungry to think of it
Should any of our friends visit Louis
ville they must by all means visit
"Walker of Walker's."
We were . astonished at the improve
ments that have been made the past
year, in the way of building. ' Quite a
number of rows of mammoth business
houses have gone up since we were there
last, and Louisville can now be pro
nounced emphatically a thriving city.
It is useless for us to attempt an enu
meration of these improvements. The
people have a go-aheaditiveness that is
only equalled by the residents of the
Queen City. Every branch of bu
siness appeared to be thriving, notwith
standing the money market was tight, as
we were informed by our friend, G. W.
Monsarrat, who ought to know, as he
is engaged in the money business. We
saw quite a number of fast men, fast
horses and big dogs, it requiring the
latter to make up the trio. Take Louis
ville all in all she is one of the cities, and
develish "hard to beat."
During our stay in Louisville we took
a jant npon the railroad cars to Frank
fort, to see a lady that many days ago
watched over our infancy, whom we
reverence and call Mother. It was our
first "ride upon the rails," and the way
our bair stood upon its own hook we
will leave you to imagine, but shall
not describe. Frankfort is a beauti
ful city, with a population of about
3000 inhabitants, and almost surrounded
by hills. We visited the Capitol, rather
an antiquated building, where we got
sight of a full length portrait of the old
Pioneer of Kentucky, Daniel Boone.
He is represented in his favorite haunt,
the dense forest, and looks as though he
was ready to drop another of the cop
per skins. From this we . visited the
penitentiary, where almost every branch
of mechanical business is carried on,
from weaving up to lithographic print
ing, which is quite a drawback to me
chanics. They turn out good, substan
tial work, but probably at such prices,
that no mechanic can compete with
them, hence the scarcity of this useful
class in that city. We saw the great
bigamist Dr. Haines, the man who has
six living wives, he scrutinized . our
better half like a wolf and looked as if
willing to contend with us for the prize
we could see nothing in him to ad
mire, but much to condemn. Fair
banks, the nigger thief, is confined
there, but as we forgot to have him
pointed out to us, we are unable to in
form his underground friends of his ap
pearance, however he will be gray
headed by the time he serves out his
fifteen years. We next visited the
Cemetery, and of all beautiful sights
that caps the climax. It is situated upon
a high hill, at the base of which beauti
fully curves the Kentucky river, re
nowned for its fine scenery. From this
hill you have a splendid' view of the
city of Frankfort and the surrounding
country. There is more and better
taste displayed, in laying off these
grounds than in any cemetery we ever
visited. .We will not attempt a descrin-
bon ot. " "e momim:nU j
t
Oi Willi
bite marbte and . of the costliest
kind, and very handsomely arranged.
The State monument, in commemoration
of the heroes that have fallen in battle
from the Indian wars down to the Mexi
can war, is an honor to Kentucky. It is
a single column some 70 or 80 feet high
and of white marble. ' On the bands of
the monument are inscribed the names
of the battles, and beneath the names of
those who felL The soldiers that fell in
the Mexican war are interred in a half
circle around the monument each one
with a marble tombstone, on each of
which is inscribed the name of the hero,
as also the battle in which he felL We
read many familiar names there, among
those who fell in Mexico, and often have
we grasped them by the hand when
they had the power to return our pres
sure. Near this monument is a pile
erected to R. M. Johnson, on which is
chiseled the old hero mounted on his
favorite charger and in the act of
killing Tecumseh. Near by is the grave
of Daniel Boone and his wife, which are
surrounded by old stumps of trees,
cane, forest trees, dec, which represent
the wild and roving life of the old hun
ter, and is in better keeping and far
more5 appropriate than any useless mar
ble they could raise to his memory.
Our space is too limited to speak fur
ther of this cemetery, where nature has
bestowed an extra tint and with the
genius of man, is rendered the loveliest
spot we ever beheld. After remaining
a day and a night in Frankfort, we took
the cars and returned to Louisville.
This time we had a very pleasant trip,
our fright having worn off, and are now
very favorably impressed with railroad
travelling. We made 65 mile in three
hours and were told they didn't more
than half run, but we were satisfied.
On our return we remained in Lou
isville three days, and having cultiva
ted a taste for fast travelling, we took
the Lightning steamer Alvin Adams for
Cincinnati. The Jacob Strader, the
fastest steamer in the old Mail line, laid
over to have a race and make the
Adams ashamed of herself. The old
Mail line has monopolised the trade and
travel between the two cities for the
past 25 or 30 years, and the company
have now placed the Strader and Tele
graph intfce Evening Line, in opposi
tion to the Adams and White, for the
sole object of -running out the latter
boats and continuing their impositions
upon the travelling public. We were
glad to see a disposition on the part of
the citizens of Louisville to sustain the
Lightning Line, and the same feeling
prevails all along the river -the people
are down upon monopolists, and very
justly too in this case. Capt. Robin
son, of the Adams, is opposed to ra
cing, and upon this occasion was not
prepared for a contest with the Strader,
but his boat acquitted herself hand
somely. She left her landing precisely
at 3 o'clock P. M.. the Jacob Strader
starting immediately after, and about
40 seconds behind both boats putting
in meir oest ucKs. At tne neaa ot six
mile island the Strader's bow was op-
posite the stern of the Adams, and at j
the foot of 12 mile island she was along ,
side of her. At this juncture a shout
triumph went up from the passengers '
and crew of the Strader, but their victo-
rv wrs of short duration, they had i
reached shoal water, and the Adams !
shot ahead, when the shout was return-,
ed by the passengers on the Adams,
At this time some one cried out "nurser
on the valve," which attracted all eyer
to the Strader, and sure enough there :
sat a big darkey, like a "bump on a
log," but just at that instant he was
thrown off by some means, and the
steam escaping with a hissing noise, the
boat fell back several lengths. The
passengers on tne Adams men gave;
a victorious snout wnen meir uom uoi
l a 1 1 1 a
ahead and took the lead, which she kept
to Madison, winning the first heat hand
somely time, 3 hours and 25 minutes.
Many persons had assembled at the
landing in Madison to witness the arri
val of the boats, who gave nine cheers
as we landed three for Capt Robin-
son three lor the boat, ana three ot
the victory over the Strader, and amidst I
. . .. .
the shouts of the assembled multitude
we again pushed out, but this time be-
hind the Strader, which had pushed out
and got some lengths ahead of us. We
locked her before she got out of sight
of Madison, and from the speed she
made it was evident they had again
perched the negro upon the valve.
We were locked for the distance of
about 40 miles, the Strader having the
inside track and all advantages of the
river, until we reached Sugar Creek
bend, a narrow place in thl channel,
when the Strader turned her bow across
that of the Adams, compelling the lat
ter to stop her engines. . In this we
think Capt Robinson exercised great
forbearance, for had he kept the engines
in motion the' Strader would have been
turned with her stern up stream or
thrown on shore. As it turned out the
Strader was allowed to take the lead,
the Adams close at her stern, and thus
they had it until they reached Cineinna
We do not remember the time made
between the two cities, but it is hard to '
beat the Adams made the run in just
four minutes lea time ihan the Strader.
Wt were informed by the officers of
the Alvin Adams that it la not their in
tention to race in future, but will take
all the freight that is offered.
Our old friend Sam' Jons, true to
the instinct of his nature, presented ns
with two pounds of pure Missouri to
bacco, on leaving Louisville, a present
we can appreciate to tne tuiiest extent
Thanks.
We have hastily sketched the prece
ding from memory, having lost Xar
notes, and are thereby prevented from
giving many incidents of interest that
transpired during our trip however
we have strung out enough for one
dose. "
J7"The Louisville Coyier announces
an instance of Lynch JWw that occurred
on board the CrystaFPalace, on her late
trip to Saint Louis. A man was de
tected in a state room thrusting his hand
under a pillow. He was put ashore,
"his head shaved, his Roman nose
blackened with nitrate of silver, and ex
coriation npon his bare baok with thirty
nine lashes. Cia. Con. -4
He was served right ft would be a
fine thing if all' rascals-were similarly
served when caught and hope the of
ficers of our : Packets will adopt the
same summary means of bringing these
scoundrels to their feelingv
yj. W. Brown, the Daguerrian,
during our absence came out in a card in
the" Courier, not very complimentary to
us, touching our notice of the expected
arrival of Messrs. LaxAirnrx dc Sclu
tas's "yacht No. 2" at this place, and
advising our friends not to patronize
travelling botches." Although we
neither said nor hinted anything in re
gard to him or his Gallery, he takes it
upon himself that we meant "home
botches, too," and while he is at perfect
liberty to put whatever construction on
our ramarks he may see fit we take this
occasion to recommend the gentleman
to call round at the 'Captain's' office and
settle the past five year's advertising.

we challenge a comparison, ourself
